My price on the headers and test pipes is more than fair. They literally look like they just came out the box. Only about 800 miles on 'em, same as the clutch and flywheel. You'll have to get in line on the headers and test pipes though. I haven't even put up a FS thread yet and five people are interested. One guy is "supposedly" sending money today. I'll let you know.

Headers and Test Pipes are pretty much sold, but I just put up a FS thread on the barely used clutch and flywheel. Seriously, they look brand new. Less than 800 miles on 'em. Check it out if you're interested.

lmao I need to do this as well

No updates, still waiting on parts, but...

I need to trade my 4.08 equipped rear end with someone who has a VLSD equipped rear end. In total, my car's got just over 15k on it, and less than a thousand miles on the 4.08. All washers, seals, etc. were changed out along with the gear, so it's all new. The install kit cost just about as much as the gear itself. Save some money on this one! May be willing to include the Carbonetic 1.5-way LSD ( also less than 1k ) for the right price.

I know a few of you asked me to do this earlier, and I apologize but I forgot who you were. Also, the clutch and flywheel are in the FS section!!!

OS Giken and Quaife bolt into an open diff housing. Interested in an open diff? =P

Also, what FD are you looking for in the stock rear end? 3.5 (6 speed) or 3.3 (auto)?

Looking to go back to the OEM 6-speed gears. I'm going to go with an OS Giken LSD, let me check on that and I'll get back with you.

Yeah I am 99% sure the OS Giken is a direct bolt-in to the open differential housing. Check on that and get back to me. I have a stock 6 speed (3.5 final drive) open differential with 35,000 miles from my 2007 Z sitting in my closet. Let me know dude.

Thanks bro. I may have started this "build" thread too early. Still looks like it's gonna be a few weeks waiting for the block to get back and other parts.

Thanks for the info on the diffuser and who to contact about it.

Best of the luck on one hell of a build.

Should be one very sick Z when finished.

Things are finally starting to happen. The block is enroute to the shop and everything else should be following shortly after. Sold my HKS HighPower to a member on here ( thanks mccorea ), and installed this bigger Greddy Turbo Ti-C to help expel the gases. Also ordered a stickier set of tires in larger sizes- Yokohama Advan Neova AD08's in 255/35/19 fronts and 295/30/19 rears ( Nitto Invos just weren't cuttin' it on the track ).

Quick question man, where did you run that ground wire that's hanging down next to the drivers side exhaust?
